I want to be able to monitor my solar system, battery amount, and be able turn on a siren/floodlight from anywhere in the world.
CURRENT SYSTEM
720 Watts of Solar Panels
Renogy 60A Rover (150v max input) MPPT Charge Controller
2x200Ah AmpereTime Lithium Ions
Kuwai 4g Router (12v powered) SO I HAVE WIFI AT THE LOCATION.
I tried the Renogy M1, but it was a massive piece of shit and did not work at all. The only other option for remote management of renogy is a cell phone type thing that costs hundreds of dollars a year, and given that I already have wifi, yeah, I'm not doing that. I'm done with renogy, and I'd like to eliminate the charge controller now and not use any of their products moving forward.
What systems should I be looking at? Victron seems overkill both in the sheer # of different units I'd need to piece together, and it's priced extremely high. I know growatt has an all in one MPPT/inverter w wifi, but that company seems like a fly by night chinese company that might not be around in a year or two, it's hard to tell.
